A film teeming with solemn recognition of the nasty complexities of living in a multicultural society, and much of what remains unspoken racially in America being neatly shoved under a complacent rug.

For a violent film, it is inordinately humane and refreshingly unpredictable.

This articulate and particularly poignant mood piece demands nothing of its audience, except for some brutally honest introspection about our unquestioned presumptions about the human condition. Easily, the best film of 2005.

full review in Greek

a corny Hollywood attempt at a social problem drama, well acted enough to recommend

Stereotypes had painfully little to the discourse of American prejudice.

Haggis nos muestra en forma inteligente una perspectiva íntima de la personalidad de cada individuo, luego la percepción de los demás y finalmente la compleja realidad.

Filters every scene… through the prism of race, but keeps turning the prism around and around until the colors no longer matter and we see only what the characters do.

Quickly turns into a preachy, soapbox movie.

Obnoxious, hollow, and not at all as smart or important as it thinks it is.
